Nintendo made motion gaming mainstream? Do you see anyone still using motion gaming? But no, Apple cannot make VR mainstream. It is too isolating of an experience.

I don't get where this idea that VR is isolating comes from. 10's of millions of people sit alone in a room playing mulyiplayer games with a headset on, with no connection to the people they are playing with. In VR the connection to the people you are experiencing it with in multiplayer is greatly increased. As the tech gets better, it will literally be as if you present in the same space talking, and interacting with other people online.

This. I never felt comfortable to talk to random people online. Star trek Bridge crew got me interacting with people without feeling weird about since I can see them moving and looking around. Big difference to have an avatar to go with the voice instead of talking into thin air.
